Book #4 of 2023 📖 “Disciplines of Grace” ✍🏻 Jerry Bridges 📚Christian Living ⭐️ 4/5 Quote: “Run, John, run the law commands. But gives me neither feet nor hands. Better news the gospel brings- it bids me fly and gives me wings!” Discipline and grace are not two words I would normally interchange or expect to see in the same sentence. Yet such is the Christian life as Jerry Bridges explains in his exposition of the role grace plays in our pursuit of holiness. Just as both wings of an airplane are crucial for flight, this book reminds us that the exercise of both discipline and dependence is absolutely necessary in our walks as children of the King. What I liked most about this book was that everything led back to the gospel. The gospel shaped each truth shared and fueled each encouragement written. I’ve heard many times from various Christian teachers to “Preach the gospel to yourself daily” and reading this book was such a practical and spiritually refreshing way to do that. Titus 2:11-12 says “For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.” How beautiful that not only does God’s grace save us to live for him, but enable us to live for him! . . . #goodreadschallenge #bookstagrammers #readingaesthetic #ilovetoread #christianbookreviews #bookstaexplore #ilivetoread #readwriteunite #faithinspired #readbelievedo #christianbookbloggers #aspiringauthorsofig #emthewordenthusiast #bookishpost #readreadread #bookwormlife #booksonbooks #jerrybridges #thedisciplinesofgrace #pursuitofholiness #christianbooks #christianbookreview #navpress (at Grace) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpsuEU7PuJC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
